The Dongan Hills girl died yesterday from injuries she sustained after being hit by a city bus Dec. 27, and her uncle, Keith Cummings, told the Advance she had been tormented by bullies in her social circle and dealing with romantic problems.

An NYPD spokesman said Miss Cummings was carrying a suicide note when a witness saw her jump in front of the bus on Hylan Boulevard by Hunter Avenue about 7:30 p.m.

Counseling is being offered at the school today. Principal Deirdre DeAngelis was not available to speak to a reporter this morning.

Fellow students have taken to her Facebook profile to offer condolences, some pointing out that returning to school today wouldn't be the same.

"I'm sitting in lunch right now thinking About you & I still can't believe it, I didn't get too see your beautiful face today when I got to see you everyday," one classmate posted to Miss Cumming's Facebook page this afternoon. "I know we weren't so close but ill Always remember when you walked me to the train & we were just pouring our hearts tooo eachother About everything. you didn't deserve this, you were such A beautiful, loving girl."

Other messages on the girl's Facebook page last week accuse some of those posting well wishes -- or prematurely saying "rest in peace" late last month, before Miss Cummings died -- of being the same people who made her life miserable.

"Every person who made Amanda feel like the world turned its back on her, every person who made her feel hated, made her feel like she shouldn't be alive ... I hope this (expletive) haunts you. The fact that you are part of why she's in the condition that she's in," one Dec. 30 post to her Facebook page read. "And all of you are saying you're here for her, but only after the damage is done. Here's a thought, be there before something happens that ...might not be able to be fixed. Im praying for you Amanda."

Keith Cummings told the Advance the bullies picked on her at school, mocked her and took her phone, shoes and jacket.

"I'm not going to tolerate this. I'm gonna go full force," he said, adding that he'd be looking for criminal redress against her tormentors. "Kids can't do this to each other."

Her family recalled Miss Cummings as an animal lover and an artistic girl who loved writing poetry.
